Grandma Returns
Greetings to everyone.
Yesterday, Penny, Rebecca's mother and Xavier's maternal grandmother, flew in to celebrate a baby shower thrown for Rebecca and Xavier.
This is Penny's second visit with Xavier, and how things have changed from the last time she saw him! At the end of May, Xavier wasn't even a month old and less than 14 inches long and under two pounds in weight. Now, Xavier is probably longer than 20 inches, close to eight pounds and closing on six months. Five months ago, Xavier fit in the cup of her hand; today, it requires two hands to hold him.
Chellie, Rebecca's sister, came down Saturday for the shower and she spent the night. In the evening, Penny and Chellie kept watchful eyes on Xavier while cooking delicious enchilada sauces for Sunday dinner. Rebecca and I seized the opportunity and drove into Denver to have dinner and possibly catch a movie. We did have dinner at a Polish restaurant, but instead of a movie, we walked around and viewed the Denver night life.
Penny plays with Xavier before breakfast.
Helping Xavier with his "teething" keyring, Penny coaches him in developing some motor skills. (No, Xavier is not yet teething, but he does like to gum the keys). Compare Xavier's size the last time Penny held him.
